He said $530 is for me and the rest is for the nanny who happens to live in Pennsylvania. I'm not really sure what to expect. He uses different names. He uses Peter John through the emails and the check is signed Thomas Ackerman. The check seems to be real, because I looked up the routing number and it linked to the JP Morgan Chasebank NA in Tampa, Florida.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444545940829032089.post-15217392974075599042009-03-25T20:08:00.000-07:002009-03-25T20:08:00.000-07:00i definitely got the same email from the pjohn547 ...i definitely got the same email from the pjohn547 one. <BR/><BR/>i sent him a really funny email backAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444545940829032089.post-81582232835245042432009-03-25T14:12:00.000-07:002009-03-25T14:12:00.000-07:00He has a new Portland Craigslist posting asking fo...He has a new Portland Craigslist posting asking for a tutor for his 9 year old son.
